Hey People
Thought I would put a shout out on a few forums rather than navigating the strange and often dodgy world of car sales/eBay/gumtree.
What I am ideally looking for is a recoverable original paint early Type 3 squareback. Not 4 wheels supporting a bucket of rust but something an average welder and mechanic can sort.
Budget is limited - probably about $5k max and unless I can drive it home has to be in Victoria.
Any help much much appreciated
Cheers Paul

Thanks guys - talked to Tecoma, he only has the rattier one left, am going to have a squiz on the weekend. Could be pretty cool but is missing quite a few bits n pieces.

Till I get closer sounds like engine, screen, lights, interior (at least rear seat), not sure what else.
James reckons it,s pretty solid - love the colour and the 'finish' !!!

Cool can help with probably all that, one way or another, not necessary right colour rear seat or date stamped parts but help none the less...

Thanks to Rossko
I will be picking up my new ride next weekend. Reckon I should have it on the road for the Vic Day of , all things being equal.
Can,t wait to get started on it
Paint it shiny, put some chrome wheels on it and cut a hole in the roof for an aftermarket sunroof, maybe even convert it LPG .
Or even better keep it OG , slam it and drive it.

Thanks Guys - looking forward to it.
I was going to hire a trailer to pick it up but I hate doing that - anyone know of someone decent who could transport it for me ?

No probs Matty
After lotsa trolling I found a pic (on this forum) of what I think I want it to look like. Maybe a big wing on the roof too.

Porsche 2 liters are the only wheel for a 4 bolt T3.
